| Enjoyed our tour with Beth very much. We got off the main street of the North End and visited some of the other shops, etc we had not been too. We went back to one of the places for a sub later and it was really good! We then went to another restaurant the next night she recommended. Great choices! |

| As part of a surprise birthday get away weekend for my sister-in-law, I treated her, my brother and my husband to the North End Market Tour. It was my third time on the tour and I woud go again and again and again. They all loved the tour and found it fun, exciting, informative and oh so delicious! We are all eager to go back to discover more hidden gems amongst the narrow streets of the North End. It is truly an experience that everyone should take advantage of. It's a MUST DO for anyone visiting Boston.

| After the tour, we returned to several of the shops to purchase everything from figs to coffee to Greek oregano to ravioli and rum cakes. I am a much more knowledgable consumer of Italian food since the tour. I can tell a female eggplant from a male eggplant! |

| I live in the neighborhood and learned a tremendous amount of new information about the history of the North End and the evolution of Italian food in this country. I also visited new shops and markets that until the tour I had casually walked by without notice -- but no more! Thanks for a great morning and a great tour guide, Beth. |

| A group of four friends went on Saturday, 9:00am tour. The guide tour was knowledgeable and we enjoyed the history he shared of Boston. The entry to the
variety of pastries, wines, food stores was also good. I believe there should have
been a little something at the end of the tour, prehaps a pasta dish with meats, cheeses,
dessers from the various places we toured. For $50+ each, Pasta is cheap, just
thought it would have added much and then you could have sad this cheese is from the store we visited, etc with cheese. Otherwise, good. |

Worth the time and money!

| I have been to Boston many times and even walked through the North End but had never done the tour before. I had a great time and learned a lot. I enjoyed the tastings and the short walk. What a beautiful neighborhood with friendly people and great shops! Our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. I'm going for the Chinatown Tour the next trip! |

| Our guide was fun, very knowledgeable and exuberant of the sites we visited. I also felt he was honest about the tour itself, not hype of trying to make a sell for the vendors. The places chosen to tour sold themselves. |
